Glorious! by Peter Quilter Directed by Steve Smith This very funny and touching play (which had a successful tour and West End run starring Maureen Lipman during 2005/6) is about Florence Foster Jenkins, ‘the queen of the sliding scale’, a real New York socialite in the first half of the twentieth century who believed, all evidence to the contrary, that she could sing opera. Florence warbled and screeched her way through the evening to an audience who mostly fell about with laughter. But this delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics; instead she was surrounded by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. Such was her following that she was able to fill the Carnegie Hall on more than one occasion.
